My Project

Please consider helping my students get some comfortable seating options for working at high tables in my classroom. These chairs should prevent most students from rocking in their chairs and potentially falling out of their seats. They will also help students stay in their seats as opposed to standing and then walking around.

Sometimes, as educators, we overlook the simplest student needs, including whether or not the students are comfortable while sitting in their seats.

While this is a costly project, this is something they are using in other schools, so please help my school reach closer to equity.
